The news first broke on the show's Twitter feed when a fan wrote, "I didn't realize that @nbcSNL isn't back until May 7th!!! What am I going to do!? Is Tina Fey the season finale!?"

The show responded with, "Nope! We have Timberlake after that!" in a Tweet that has since been removed.

With three Emmy nominations and two wins for his work on the NBC sketch comedy series, Justin has become a "SNL" favorite. His Emmy-winning "D*ck In A Box," as well as "Mother Lover," "The Barry Gibb Talk Show" and the "Give It On Up" sketches have proved to be some of the show's best in recent years.
